[11:10] yeah so yesterday [11:10] at like 6pm [11:11] Rob, who is our forty something developer with a master's degree, he likes to work late, especially when it is quieter [11:11] so he hassles me all the time because when we built this current developer office, I had them make me a bigger desk so I could have a monitor + KVM for staging equipment [11:12] the dude didn't even work here at the time [11:12] he starts complaining about me staging the computers here on my desk that was made for me staging the computers [11:12] what's his issue with the things in your office exactly? [11:12] wants me to install the computers in our NOC, and walk back and forth every time I need to activate them [11:12] well, we have a 3 person "office" [11:13] we took what used to be the customer service are [11:13] area [11:13] ripped out the cubicles [11:13] and replaced em with 3 big desks [11:13] my desk is like two cublicle type desks connected [11:13] so it's like a big |____| [11:13] I sit at one of the corners [11:14] the other "wing" of the desk is so I can have easy access to the front and backs of the computers [11:14] ok [11:14] I had em wire a shitton of ethernet ports there, I have a nice monitor and a huge KVM [11:14] are tehy in his way or something? [11:14] it's all setup to be a sweet staging area [11:14] what he doesn't like is, the 1U or 2U rack mount machines I'm usually staging anymore, they're a little loud [11:15] oh [11:15] ahah [11:15] especially when they boot before fan speed control comes on [11:15] but like, it's not like so loud that it's the end of the world [11:15] the same that a jet taking off is "a little loud" :p [11:15] and he has headphones / cdplayer [11:15] ahah [11:15] well he has a CD player, but it lacks, so it's not really enough to keep the noise out [11:16] and I was like, okay shit [11:16] I'll take an office [11:16] but when that wasn't working out with the manager [11:16] he started giving me shit again, telling me I should walk in and out of the NOC [11:17] with the fucking door locked so you have to key it every time [11:17] and pissed me off [11:17] so I have this airhorn that tbl and I bought like forever ago [11:17] like 3 years ago [11:17] it has sat in my desk for like 3 fucking years [11:17] so [11:17] I waited until almost everyone in the company was gone [11:18] pretended to leave myself [11:18] creeped into the other door of the office [11:18] and hit the airhorn [11:18] and the basharteg activates. [11:18] the dude almost had a seizure [11:18] wow [11:18] hahah [11:18] like you wouldn't believe the body motion that took place [11:18] ahahaha BasharTeg [11:18] I can't even describe it [11:18] it was like his fear of death reaction [11:18] Proof positive: Dont fuck with BasharTeg [11:19] dude, he was SO pissed, the dude turned red and shit [11:19] and I just said, dude, don't fuck with me over my staging area [11:19] he was SO pissed, he went to Jamila's office and told her to take me home or anywhere but here [11:19] I thought he was gonna cry [11:19] man, that airhorn blast changed his life or something [11:20] I'm telling you, it was a seizure [11:20] like way beyond the horn blasters video [11:20] when people hear sound at a certain level, it's like they're afraid either a building is collapsing on them, or god himself has come down to smite them [11:21] BasharTeg - you're lucky he's not like a vietnam vet [11:21] might have killed you :) [11:21] the ear panics your brain's kernel, and sends it to a very small piece of code that prepares your body for the end of the world [11:21] ahah [11:21] and like, I barely hit it, I didn't really blast it as hard as I could have [11:21] i'm sure it was more the shock than anything [11:33] we're now taking bets as to whether or not he comes in today [11:37] heh [11:42] When Mike and I bought those horns [11:42] the lady called the manager over and asked him if it was okay [11:42] because they thought we were going to huff them [11:42] I'm like, how could you huff a god damned horn [11:43] it would shatter your teeth when you discharged it [11:43] yeah I'm gonna put the end of a 100+ db horn in my mouth and press the button [11:43] that'll get me high
